[quote=Anonymous]I am thinking about asking to go reduced time at my work (where I work, there is a reduced time policy and several part-timers, so no issue there).  There isn't a specific event that is necessarily causing this - for example, I am not just getting back from maternity leave, or my husband's work schedule didn't change.  I did, however, recently find out that I wasn't getting promoted, and the reason that I didn't ask to go reduced time before was because I wanted to try for this promotion and didn't want my part time schedule to be an unspoken reason I didn't get promoted.  Basically, now that I am not being promoted, I just want to have more time to see my kid (note, I am not at all worried that my lack of promotion means that my job is at risk - I am confident that I am a valued member of the team).  My spouse thinks that it makes sense to tie my reduced time request with a specific event (for example, coming back from maternity leave (I'm not even pregnant again yet, so who knows when that will happen) or my husband's work schedule changes, which likely will happen in a few months) rather than asking now.  Any one have any experience with this or advice?  [/quote]
